So okay, the Feedburner RSS subscriber count has just lost its credibility. A video demo by the guys at Next Web shows you how to pump your Feedburner subscriber count to thousands overnight.
Feedburner hacked! from Boris Veldhuijzen van Zanten on Vimeo.
I guess that’s the way Feedburner counts RSS subscription. Anything is possible nowadays.
we can also manipulate rss count reader via igoogle.
Honesty is still the best policy. Nonetheless, Feedburner should address the issue ASAP.
The opposite happened to me. I checked yesterday and it showed 0 subscribers. I was expecting at least one reader because I subscribe to my own feeds. :-(
Google should exclude the NETVIBE* i don’t know the spelling… the one that is really being manipulated.
they need to fix this issue asap
